S AMERICAN PLAYERS IN FINE CONDITION Allison Meets Stefani and Lott Plays De Morpurgo in Opening Matches. By the Assoclated Press. | ARIS, July 17.—Wilmer Allison, Texas boy who beat the world cham- pion, Henri Cochet, at ‘Wimbledon, will play Georgio de Stefani of the Italian Davis Cup team in the opening sin- gles match of the interzone finals at Roland Garros Sta- dium tomorrow. It will start at 2:30 p.m. (8:30 am. E. S. T.). George Lott, also of the . American team, will meet Hum- berto de Morpurgo, captain of the Italian team, in the second singles match at 4 p.m. (10 am. E/S..T). Drawing for the two matches took place at noon today at the headquarters of the Racing Club of France. Neither Americans nor Ital- {ans have yet designated a dou- bles team, but will choose thera tomorrow. The third day’s play, Sunday, will be a reverse of the open- ing singles, Lott starting against De Stefani and Allison playing the final ‘match with De Mor- purgo. BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2D. ARIS, July 17—The Ameri- can Davis Cup team is tuned to the minute to meet Italy in the interzone final round tie at Stade Roland Gar- ros, starting tomorrow. Capt. Fitz-Eugene Dixon has put his men through a stiff course of practice. Long workouts, mornings and afternoons, have been the or- er. Each day Dixon would send his regu- lars against Kozeluh end his alternates, Gregory and Mangin, for hard singles play. Then the team of Kozeluh and Mangin would work out in doubles against the two regular pairs, Allison and Van Ryn, Lott and Doeg. I have watched the past few days’ practice critically and worked out with the boys in singles matches and am greatly impressed by the splendid con- dition of the team, both mentally and physically. Dixon has his team not only hitting the ball well, but full of confidence and fighting spirit. Allison Carries Brunt. Wilmer Allison is carrying the brunt of the American burden and he seems in perfect condition to do so. He had 2 long workout with Karel Kozeluh on Tuesday in which he seemed to be hitting hard and with fine control. He was working on his ground strokes and seemed to be gaining in control of them so0 that he should be ready to meet Morpurgo’s greatest attack. George Lott has twice had long work- outs with me and I was greatly im- pressed by his great pace and soundness ©off the ground. Lott is playing better here on the hard courts than he did at Wimbledon and is showing a_distinct improvement over)} any tennis he has ever shown in France, #He seems in perfect mental and physicai trim for the matches and I have great confidence in him to win both his singles matches. John Van Ryn has been concentrating on doubles with Allison and they are playing the same magnificent tennis that won them the Wimbledon doubles title. I look to see both Allison and Lott decisively defeate Stefani, and Al- lison and Van Ryn to win the doubles. Morpurgo's singles'are doubtful matches, but it would not surprise me to see both our boys beat him. The worst we can expect is a 3-2 victory, while I would not call a 5-0 win a great surprise, Light Workout Today. Dixon plans to hold an easy workout for the team today, not more than one session, and that only for the men who wish to play. Plerre Gillou has been chosen referee of the Italian tie. The center court, which has been soft and dry the last few days, will be taken out of play on Thursday and put into perfect condition for the matches. Everything points to fine tennis, with every indication for a clean-cut victory for the United States. If Morpurgo can be beaten on the first day of play I look to see the United States win all five matches, for it will break the heart of the Italian team.

Rwiteiognei fry CONSIDINE, MANGAN AGAIN NET VICTORS | Bob Considine, who paired with Tom | Mangan to win the Middle Atlantic ten- nis doubles title yesterday, will have an- other: partner in the public parks tour- nament starting Saturday. He will team with Dooly Mitchell whom he defeated recently in the final of the District singles. Mangan is in- eligible for the tournament, due to his membership in a club that sponsors | tennis. Considine and Mangan defeated "Jo- seph Rutley and Owen Howenstein in the Middle Atlantic final, at Congres- sional Country Club, 6—0, 6—0, 6—3. It was their fifth consecutive champion- ship triumph since the Spring of last ear. The champions were on top of their geme and won yesterday with ease: Howenstein and Rutley took probably the worst beating of their doubles ca- reer. They put up a fight here and there, but never were able to sustain it long. - As a result of their victory, Consi- dine and Mangan will represent the Middle ~Atlantic Association in _the national doubles, to be piayed in Bos- ton_August 25. The point score of yesterday’s match:* FIRST SET. Considine-Mangan ...... Howenstein-Rutley . SECOND Considine-Mangan .. Howenstein-Rutley .. THIRD Considine-Mangan . 4 Howenstein-Rutle: HAWKINS MOTORS q e PORTS OSSESSOR of a swing said by his tutor to be one of the sntoothest in amateur golf about ‘Washington, the tall and slen- der John I. Tierney, who learned the game of golf at the Congressional Country Club, is looked upon by Sandy Armour as one of the coming young- sters in the game about the District of Columbia. Tierney, according to Armour, has in him the making of a first-class golfer, both from the me- chanical and the mental side, for the youngster, in addition to being a fine swinger, has a fine temperament. Armour has several pupils at Con- gressional who are rapidly picking up the game and give promise of going somewhere in golf. Tierney is one of them. Another is Luther Steward, jr., who is in the final of the Spring Handicap turney at Congressional, and there are.several other youngsters who may be lnlwewhm in golf. “Watch Tierney swing,” the Con- gressional ‘pro says, “and watch him wait for thdt clubhead, and watch him finish high. His swing reminds me, in a way, of that of Jones, but, of course, he hasn't the power that Jones has. Power, however, will come later, and meantime John must concentrate on hitting the ball all the time and hit- ting it straight.” Tierney has shot the congressional coruse in 76 and usually is hovering around the 80 mark, which makes him a tough nut to crack for any but the recognized stars of the club. Inasmuch as the youngster still has some distance to go before he reaches maturity, Armour bas hopes that his pupfl will improve greatly in the next year or two, and that he will be a real challenge to the Huitys, the Nolans, and the Murphys, who today have lthl.u‘u their own way at Congres- sional. Over at Washington young Tommy ‘Webb, the stalwart son of Dr. T. D. Webb, has just served notice that he is rounding onto the game he always has been capable of playing. Last year Tommy was & prospect, but this year his game has steadied down, and he seldom now is over 77 . Day before yes- terday he shot the Washington course in 71 strokes, and yesterday, with his father and a number of other Washing- ton golfers, he journeyed down to An- mgom Roads, where he played that difficult course in 75. That 75 included & 37 on the last nine, where he was over par on two holes and played all the others exactly in par figures. The boys are kicking up & good deal of dust out at Indian Spring in the ringer competition, which is being played by the club golfers during June, July and August. Four players have made n?le 3s on the lengthy par 5 seventh hole, which really is nothing more than a par 4 for a long hitter. However par, is 5 and therefore 3 must be an eagle. ‘Those who made eagles on the seventh are: Dr. Larry Otell, J. William Harvey, Perry B. Hoover and J. J. Oulahan. As might be. expected, they all are long hitters. The big thrill of t' . ringer tournament, however, has come to Elliott Spicer and Bob Whalen. Spicer sank a spade mashie shot the STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE BY W, R. McCALLUM hole, the first time that hole has been made in two strokes, and Bob Whalen pulled a big iron out of his bag on | the eleventh a few days back and sank | his shot for an eagle 2 on that hole. But little George ‘Diffenbaugh is the real fair-haired gent at lonal. Having gotten back his putting stroke, which has been missing for several months, the little pro played the first nine the other day in 30 strokes, which is nothing more nor less than 5 under par. With more than 50 Washingtonians | scheduled to play today in the qualify- | ing round of the tourney, they, as well as the stars from other cities, had something to shoot at in the form of a M. Knapp, the tall star of the Baltimore Country Club, who seems to be about the best there is in golf about the Monu- mental City. Alex went out yesterday over that hard-baked golf course and after shoot- ing the first nine in a mediocre 37, sud- dently went wild and shot a flock of birdies to hole the last nine in 33 strokes. That last nine at does not have a par 3 hole in it either, so Knapp picked up three birdies while he was scorching the already burned fair- ways. The veteran Albert R. McKenzle of Columbia, who used to cut quite a figure in the Baltimore tourneys, shot a fine card of 76 to qualiiy easily enough for the first flight, no matter what the rest of the fleld may shoot today. Evert | L. Bono of Columbia registered a 79, the | same figure shot by J. A. Cox of Argyle. W. Carlton Evans of Columbia had a 78. Scores of the other Washingtonians who played yesterday were: M. E. Oliveri, Argyle, 82; C. W. Stod- dard, Manor, 82; Jack Biggs, jr., Ar- gyle, 84; Col. L. W. Herron, Columbia, 85; O. De Moll, Columbia, 86; W. B. Legge, jr., Chevy Chase, 88. Scores were not turned in by Louis Mackall, Chevy Chase, and Dr. R. T. West, Columbia. Legge shot three balls out of bounds on the eighteenth hole. VETERAN, YOUNGSTER GOLF FINAL CERTAIN By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 17.—The battle for the women's Western Golf Association championship will be fought tomorrow between a veteran and a youngster. Either Mrs. Lee Mida or Mrs. Melvin Jones, who today were paired in the upper bracket semi-final, will represent experience, while June Beebe and Rena Nelson were out to gain the right to represent youth. Mrs. Mida yesterday advanced by defeating Mrs. Lillian Zech, 7 and 5. while Mrs. Jones scored an impressive 6 and 4 victory over Mrs. J. H. Indig, shooting a new course record of 84. Miss Beebe had to go to the final green to defeat Virginia Ingram, and Miss Nelson went into the penultimate round by a 4-and-3 victory over Helen MacMorran. —_— Professional billiard players are paid as much as $275 a week and a per- other day for an eagle 2 on the first centage of the gate money. gallant 70, turned in yesterday by Alex | WASHINGTON, D.

KANSAS CITY, July 17.—Proof of the rise of the Missouri Valley in ten- nis is evidenced by the roster of the quarter finalists in today's program of the twenty-first annual National Clay | Courts Tennis Tournament. ‘Three of the eight survivors are from the Missouri Valley area, and at least one will enter the semi-finals, as the draw brings together two of the trio— | Harris: Coggeshall, Des Moines, and Wilburt F. (Junior) Coen, Kansas City. Coggeshall and Wray Brown, St. Louis, the third of the valley players, advanced at the expense of the East in | Jeets flercely contested five-set struggles, and each eliminated players ranked higher in the Nation and given better seeded positions. Coggeshall won from Julius Seligson of New York, ranked No. 14, in the first match Seligson played in the tourna-|y, ment, defaults having advanced him through two rounds. Brown and Frank Shields battled through 65 games in five sets, the St. Louis veteran taking the fifth, 16—14, to cinch the match. One of the three Eastern representa- tives still_in singles competition must lose~ today® as Herbert L. Bowman of New York is paired with J. Gilbert Hall, Orange, N. J. The other Eastern rep- resentative will meet the Southern when Frederic Mercur of Harrisburg, Pa., takes the court with Bryan Grant. jr.' of Atlanta, Ga. Brown is paired with Bruce Barnes, Austin, Tex. A seeded doubles team dropped out yesterday with hardly a murmur when Kark Kammann and Fred Josties of St. Louis, seeded No. 8, bowed before an unseeded team—J. B. Adoue, Dallas, and Bruce Barnes—in straight sets. Of the five other teams who advanced to the quarter-finals, one was from the Pa- cific Coast, Stanley Almquist and Sher- man Lockwood of California, and an- other California team, Ted Easton and Larry Hall, was deprived of a chance to play because of the long Shields-Brown match. Shields was too fatigued to take the court for doubles and his part- ner, Emmett Pare of Dayton, Ohio, played single late in the day. Doubles_matches today: Wray Brown-Coggeshall vs. John Barr-James Quick, Dallas; Fred Royer, Chicago-Louis Thalheimer, Dallas, vs. winner of the second-round match be- tween George J. Jennings-George J. O’Connell, Chicago, and Gustave Boeh- mer-Tedg Eggman, St. Louis; Lockwood and Almquist vs. winners second-round match between Easton-Hall and Shields- Pare; Barnes-Adoue ‘vs. Mercur-Hall. The defending doubles team is still in competition, Mercur and Hall, but “the 1929 singles winner, Pare was elim- inated in straight sets yesterday by Grant. St. Louls representatives have an- nounced they will make a strong plea for the 1931 tournament. HELEN JACOBS ACTIVE.
